Actor Louisa Jacobson, daughter of Meryl Streep, seemingly came out as LGBTQ+ during her mother's birthday celebrations.
Over the weekend, Jacobson posted a series of photos on Instagram. The first was of her with producer Anna Blundell, followed by a screenshot of an article with the headline âWeâre Entering A Joyful New Era of Lesbian Fashion.â
Jacobson captioned it, âBlessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb,â adding a heart on fire emoji and a rainbow flag emoji. In true iconic fashion, the post was shared during her motherâs birthday weekend, as Streep's birthday is on June 22.
While Jacobson did not explicitly confirm her identity, many commenters interpreted the images as a hint that she identifies as a lesbian. She had previously posted a Pride month Instagram story on June 1, saying âHappy priiiiiiiide,â while holding a book called How To Be Gay, which a fan shared on X (formerly Twitter).
Jacobson has followed in her mother's footsteps by attending Yale School of Drama and now stars in the HBO period drama The Gilded Age.
Some people were pleasantly surprised.
